complaints






I was going to write this great post where I whined and complained about how life is hard and I'm so picked-on. I was going to tell you about how I got sick the day James left for New York City

and so did Liam

and Eliza

and Laney.

I was going to tell you all about how I had to sit in the ER with Liam so he could have his blood drawn (the lab in our Dr's office was closed) and they made me wait for SIX HOURS with a sick baby and a sick mommy and it was not fun. At all.

I had so much to tell you.

And you would have loved it.

You may have even cried.

But then I met a man with no feet (figuratively speaking) and so now all my really big problems (I'm telling you, they were HUGE) don't seem blog-worthy. Or even complain worthy.

Instead, I feel the need to quote the song by Jason Mraz that goes like this:

La la la la la la la life is wonderful.

And here's why...



James came home and brought us all Tshirts.
Oh how we love Daddy (and NY).

The kids are better.
And the weather is nice enough to play outside!
We made a haunted house.



Liam helped in his own special way

James bought me these beauties.

Last but not least, it's almost Halloween!
Do you love my beautiful princesses?
How about my fat lion?

I had to include this picture of our friends because their costumes are so awesome.
Please notice the mini lumberjack in the wolf's arms. He is holding a hatchet.



So there you have it. My life is not hard.

In fact it's really quite wonderful.

I am glad last week is over though. Sick wonderful is not near as fun as well wonderful.

Happy Halloween!

I need to take a lesson from you! I have such a hard time getting bogged down with life... but there is so much around me to be thankful for! I wish I could've helped you while you and the kids were sick. That's NO FUN!! Glad your better and your hubby is back!

I was going to mention that the weather was nice until we had the flash flood warnings/flash flood happen today! What a wonderful day to watch some shows...and have Nana watch my kid and entertain her during the rain. I'm glad that life isn't as horrible as you thought! Thanks for the uplifting message!

I'm so sad I wasn't there to take care of you when James was gone. Ironic week. You are blessed. And so am I, I get to see your cute kids in less than a month:)

Monica, even your lack of complaining almost caused me to cry. Why is it that as soon as our husband's go out of town, everything goes wrong? (house stuff, kid stuff, etc.).
Liam is an irresistible roly poly.
Glad you had such a great Halloween!
